Capade did a test on PvP Legacy between Axe vs Sword PvP in Minecraft 1.18 and Axe PvP is a lot stronger than Swords in Shield PvP . - Hry

To be honest, I would say that both axe and sword have their advantages and disadvantages some people prefer a sword while others prefer axe. There is no way to say that one is better because they are very difficult to compare.
Yup
To be honest , 1.19 pvp is dawgpoop but u have to practice it anyways so stop talking abt 1.9+ already, its older than my grandma
The sword is just much better, they have a lot more dps, axes are easy to dodge and anything that reduces mobility like lava or cobwebs counters the axe.
axes are only better in early game
Would you agree that swords have better enchant and axe are better in general?
Probably yea
One thing to note is that when the guy was talking about prot 4 netherite I would assume he also meant sharpness 5 sword and axe, where in that case the DPS difference is even greater than just like 1 or 2 damage it because a pretty huge difference in DPS. This doesn't change the fact that in MOST scenarios the axe is just better though, but then again things shift when you're not going against 9 year olds because extra DPS doesn't matter when your opponents clearly cannot aim.
It depends on the player and the situation. At a lower level axes can be effective when you're fighting players that don't know how to use a sword, but against higher level players using an axe in most cases is just a death wish (unless we're specifically talking the axe / dream kit, but even then some of the top players are sword mains in that kit). Dream is the one that popularized the idea that axes are better and even he has abandoned that idea nowadays after getting repeatedly rolled by sword mains
To put it another way: axes can be good situationally but if you take two players that are both higher level but one has an axe and the other has a sword, more often than not the person with a sword will win.
Yeah
when
This is exactly what everyone else says, can't you come up with something better? Also can we see some legitimate test results to prove the claim that high level swords will win more often against a person that is high level axe?
Exactly
@@monkeman5494 I don’t have to come up with a “unique” or better point if it’s just the truth. I can say it until i’m blue in the face but you probably just have to actually experience fighting a good sword player yourself to get the point. I don’t know a single higher tier player in any niche of the community that believes axes are overall better than swords in the majority of situations (including axe kit mains). Axes take less skill to use which is why they’re pretty good at a lower level against players that aren’t any better with a sword, but the higher up the totem pole you go the more likely the guy you’re facing is just gonna roll you with a sword if you bother with the axe.
Even in the axe kit there is this weird hotbar layout some people that are pretty good and bored do to troll where they replace their shield with a crossbow in their offhand, and everyone knows the counter to that is to just sword them. Including the guy who started that trend
I will say it also depends on how many hits you need to kill the player. For example, if a person has full iron and u have a chance to pick a diamond axe or a sword, axes perform overwhelming good even without a shield just because of the fact that u only need 3 crits or 2 and a half to finish the job whereas in the same scenario if they had full prot 4 diamond I would rather go with swords as even if the opponent gets a lot of crits on me I have a better chance to get him to the same health by combos as we need to get through way more hits. But if the same happens in the axe kit, axes are not worse in any way as if u get at least 2 or 3 crits there no way to heal and u have to get an insane combo with 4 hearts. So, there's no point of saying that axes are only good with shields because that is just simply not true.
Edit : I absolutely agree with you great work!!
I am one of the few that actually agree with u on this, i only use sword when i have a health disadvantage or when they aren't expecting it but again it depends on playstyle really good video :)
ty for all the likes lmao
i use both
i think axe is better for early game pvp
@@lythrm stone axe dominates when early game, swords are good if you’re comboing
The best way to pvp is using axes to break shields and catch runners, while swords do more dps and are overall better at killing players. The best thing you can do is stab people with the sword as fast as possible(after cooldown) and when they block switch to axe and break their shield, then just keep stabbing
Personally i think axes are better.
I just run and when my axe is done cooling down i turn around and crit my opponent and run immediately.Even if my opponent hits me back with sword I still do more damage
Oooooh I get it now. I saw him in the video just now. Wondering why everyone loved his rando statement lmao
Great video! I agree mostly, although I think sword would be more useful against newer players who can't strafe away from your hits. I would also say the same for UHC pvp, because usually the sword has sharpness on it oppossed to the axe, so when you get those crit combos it kills them really fast
I agree with most of your points just one question, would fire aspect 2 possibly change things. I ask this because axes cannot use fire aspect. Honestly I don’t know that’s why I am asking.
yeah it would. It wouldnt make swords better, but it might make them about equals (not including the shieldbreaking axes can do)
with max enchants the sword does only a bit less than the axe but with double attack speed its BY FAR better lol
Axe
But then if he backs up and trade hits ur still gonna be out
Axe*
@@chopdahead2453 Axe*
U kids don’t know anything about pvp do u 😂
With the sword reach thing Minecraft has a weird code line the means that you have more reach if you are travelling forwards
also is the cooper kid talking about the snapshot testing because im PRETTY SURE THAT AN AXE HAS THE SAME AMOUNT OF REACH AS A SWORD in every version but combat snapshot
You have to be able to use a sword. Too many people just only try to crit with a sword and it makes it impossible to combo people. Also, when an axe pvper misses a hit it can be fatal, but not for a sword pvper

Personally i think axes are better.
I just run and when my axe is done cooling down i turn around and crit my opponent and run immediately.Even if my opponent hits me back with sword I still do more damage
@The Sponge Enthusiast unless I’m in a pvp server like pvp legacy, I won’t really try the hit and run strat but in something like an smp I wanna live and I’d do anything to win the fight.
Before anything, just know that I'm saying it for all 1.18 smp or multiplayer survival server since in your title it says "1.18 pvp"
The reason why sword is better in netherite pvp is because usually they will have pots. If you use strength 2 pots with a Sharp 5 netherite sword it will do 17 damage since strength 2 gives +6 damage. While a netherite axe does 19 damage. So even though the axe still does 2 damage more, the attack speed has a huge difference whilst pvping. Also, if they also have speed 2 pots you can't really back up and run while your axe cooldown is down. The axe is still useful in most situations like shield disabling, but in my OPINION the sword is better.
straight facts
@@JermCollins atleast someone understands
Very nice video man! I never get tired when I see one of your videos. :]]
I had found a way to combo with the axe, like if the opponent is bad, you crit them, they will go a little up in the air, then you crit them , and repeat
Just use both weapons, they both have positives and negatives
But you gotta main one
@@darksidethelol Not really, when It comes to pvp you can use either weapon depending on who you are going against and what their playstyle is
Cringe ahh furry
legends use axe techno dream and the almighty himslef CAPADE
Swords are better, as 1 hit with a axe is 2 hits with a sword, if the sword is netherite it does 8 attack damage, 8+8= 16 meaning its 16 attack damage vs like 15 or 14 (i forgot the attack damage with the netherite axe) and even then you might be able to get a third hit in with the sword
Axe is only necessary against shield you can do like break apponet shield
Quickly switch to sword and get crazy combos but I prefer use axe against shield and us sword when he is not using his shield.
3:43 Hey do you know how sword combos work? I think it is pretty well known that to combo usually swords are better in any version. Why is that? That's because when you hit someone they obviously take knockback and a player with backwards momentum has less reach than a player with forward momentum, so combined with the speed at you can attack this makes swords kinda better. (for combos ig...) Im not saying you are wrong, but i think that dude meant that if a player that uses a sword hits a player that uses an axe he'll be able to hit again while sprinting to do the same thing again, but a player using an axe does that he's not gonna be able to hit before the other player is gonna loose all their backwards momentum.
THANK YOU INTELLECTUAL
Me who uses both: *I play on both sides so that I always come out on top*
Except when you don’t
It depends on if you use op or not so op kits because when you use kit that doesnt take 3 shots with an axe to kill than swords are mutch better
sword is usualy my go to but when you are low i think axe+crossbow in offhand is an exelent ''back-away'' type weapon if you want to do a chunk of dammage to someone so they can back away so u can regen
Capade, I have just recently started watching your videos and am liking them a lot. One thing I don’t get, however, is when you said that no one was talking about SMPs. 95% of the Minecraft player base will never touch Minecraft pvp servers and will instead stick to single player. Then the majority of the remaining players play almost exclusively on SMPs. This is why people are saying that swords are better than axes. You spend more time maxed out on an SMP than you do unmaxed. Think, when but during a small window of progression are you goi g to be fighting an opponent with unenchanted diamond armor and tools. Swords have much higher dps at max and with pots like strength and speed 2 you can shred axe players because it becomes much harder for them to land crits due to speed. The knock back trick with the axe to keep out of sword range won’t work due to netherite’s inconsistent knockback. When an axe player tries to land a crit, a decent sword player has simply clicked twice and delt 34 damage as opposed to the 28.5 damage from the crit. It is also much easier to consistently land crits with swords due to the cool down being the same as the rate at which you fall. I just wanted to say this to you because I wanted any new players just starting out that if you have to pick 1 or the other, pick a sword.
Why soo long bruh
Both weapons are really good, axes serve as a better weapon early game and swords are the preferred weapon late game, in the end it really just comes down to skill and preference

7:39, the "so true, funny you" got me laughing ngl
Make a video about showing the damage with enchantment
axes do more damage but swords personally are easier for me to use, I only use an axe when I have time to get a crit in for the extra damage, and swords also have fire aspect which would be rly useful if they dont have pots. I rest my case
With netherite armor, high-damage attacks do less damage than usual, so the sword does slightly less damage with more attack speed.
Also, when you fought the person with a sword, it was actually a really close fight until they started starving. You probably only won because you were better at PVP. I found it a bit ironic when you mocked that person for starving while you were at one hunger bar, and then you stayed away from them for the rest of the match-almost as if you didn't want to fight so that you didn't lose. of course, you could have just been doing that for content or because it seemed funny that they were starving because you forgot food, but either way, that duel never had a fair end, at least in my opinion.
He queued another fight with food and rolled them though
I think he is the guy who starved lmao
@@KennethGTWI wasn't the one who starved (unless you didn't mean me lol). My username is QuantumTwig, not MildIdiot. I just didn't like how Capade made fun of someone for starving when he was the one who forgot to add food to the kit. I still think that swords are better than axes in most cases because of the ability to combo, which a good sword player could do even with Capade's technique to avoid combos, and an example of someone starving wasn't a very convincing argument.
(fyi my pronouns are they/them, not he/him.)
You can use totem and have chance fighting a axe user but i dont think that would be enough time to attack though so just get away as far as possible and prepare or use another totem.
if you have good/maxed enchanted on your things sword is better bc the attack speed is 2x faster, but when you have like, unechanted gear axes are better
To put it simply, axes and swords are useful in different situations, axes can disable shields and have more burst, as in more on hit damage, but swords have an overall higher dps, its pointless to only use or only say that one is good, as they have completely different uses.
yes like swords are useful in survival to fight multiple mobs rather than kit pvp and axes are useful in kit pvp rather than survival to fight mobs
As a sword mainer I can tell you that the ax is superior in the early game and anything that reduces mobility like lava or cobwebs counteracts speedrunners that hit and run when their shield is off, also the ax is easy to dodge and in spaces closed like caves or forest the sword wins by dps.
btw, in pvplegacy there is no level, most people don't play pvp 1.16 (I have 90% win rate and I'm not good), killing random people in legacy even I can prove that a potato is better than a sword, I challenge you to try to prove that the ax is better on a server where there is a level, spoiler: they will destroy you
I can prove it
Spoiler: You will not succeed
You will never I will doom you I will curse you to succumb to the deadly disease
Axe is always better. Join the cult now or be cursed Choose an option now
This guy is only making this video as bait, bc he knows he doesnt know anything about pvp xD. Is only for the views, he knows it
Personally i think axes are better.
I just run and when my axe is done cooling down i turn around and crit my opponent and run immediately.Even if my opponent hits me back with sword I still do more damage
What people are trying too say when they say that experienced players are better with swords they mean that if 2 bad players fight, axe will be superior But if to skilled players fight, the sword will be superior. When you know how to use the sword well the sword will be better that an axe in the hands of someone that is skilled with an axe. The sword does more damage faster. More damage per second. If you hit imedeatly after the damage bar is full. So if you can get a hit as soon as the bar is full the sword is better that axe.
When was this ever in question??
1) You're fighting randoms on pvplegacy
2) Sword is more skilled
3) With swords you can: w-tap, s-tap, crit chain, left-right strafe, break, shuffle, zig-zag, wide zig-zag, reach, circle strafe, punish crit (and more but I'm just not good enough to know them lmao)

@@thefunnemonke796 yeah his video helped me when i started off with sword lol

Ok who likes making essays? Only me? Ok….
So first of all nobody cares about axes in SMP’s he is talking about combat in general not in smp also axes are just more useful since it does more damage can disable shields yall might be sayin “oh but it has a slower atk. Speed so it has less dps” wel there is a strat called “running away” so ye if u died from trying this strat…. GIT GUD
Second of all it doesnt matter what weapon you use u just have to be good with your weapon of choice u could go up against a person with a diamond sword and u have a stone axe u can still dap him up
Thirdly pvp is more than just weapon dps there is more stuff to account for like movement and *CONFUSION* strats also dont forget about intimidation tactics like the fake hp. advantage there is two kinds of fake hp advantage being agro when low tricking the opponent into thinking you have higher hp and vice versa, and bow aim and stuff u cant just aim and it will hit the arrows are affected by gravity so you have to aim higher depending on theyre distance pvp does not only consist of melee pvp so keep in mind u could be a god with the bow and beat an axe player
i hope you see this
I love writing essay
i havent mained 1.9 in 9 months so im not sure how much my experience actually matters here but if both players are very good but one knows how to use sword then they will obviously win, the dps is insane
They both have there uses in fights and you will use both in different situation but not only using one per fight use both
I use the sword and axe about equally in every kit (unless one is really downgraded) and I seem to do pretty well.
Also: I don't have or ever plan to use Twitter

Hey, cool transition.
Its based on your gear and who you are playing against, I know what they mean by "with netherite armor and totems" because I put thought into it, netherite armor decreases kb and thats pretty much what your strategy is based on. Hitting, running away, and hitting again. Plus, the shield break of axes are really useful on 1 to 1 combat because you can deal damage and prevent them from damaging you, but in most cases swords are better for the combo, the higher dps, and the more spread out damage so you deal more damage if your hit gets blocked.
tldr:
1. strat is based on kb, netherite reduces kb
2. totems > shields, 1 less use for axes
3. dps
4. spread out damage so when its blocked you get more damage
extra notes:
if you have a very hilly terrain that makes your strat completely useless because you need to get out of range
you were fighting people who were much worse than you, you can't prove a point when everybody knows its rigged from the start
you can strafe away from axe crits, making it much harder to beat you
you forgot to mention Strength potion, Strength II always increases 6 damage each hit and because sword hits more so sword benefits from Strength more
your point is basically "sword is better lategame bc of its dps" but the truth is, with full prot 4 netherite armor; normal weapons just doesn't work and the things become like, who have more spare gears and more gapples win.
3:32 it's reach momentum because when you are moving backwards you have less reach? Idrk how it works or if it's even true but watch ro11ens video on 1.18 pvp and in there it says reach momentum
in full netherite, the combination of shield and sword are better than just using axe. Netherite reduces kb thus enabling a sword user to get close enough to continuesly hit you (unless their aim is bad ofcourse). Without netherite armor axe players can achieve hit trading, securing them a victory, as axes do more damages per hit. (also you debunking that axes are better than swords when wearing netherite by 1v1ing a random guy wasn't really evidence). But as I said if there is no knockback resistance I agree with you.
If you think about it, in real life axes would be better in medium and close range combat because of they’re ability to deal lethal damage anywhere they hit, of course there are specific swords that would win against any axe, even battle ones, like the long sword.
Though in general in most cases in real life between same level experience fighters axe would come on top, considering variables like damage first person to succumb to the dealt damage and more.
My opinion may not be based of science but it is based off of logic and probably JS simulations if I’m not too lazy to actually code them up.
i dueled someone when we both got end game gear(like netherite max enchants with max enchants weapons)
i used an axe while he used a sword
i comboed him a lot and won
(also thx for that turtle master idea there was a time i thought it could be useful but i hate slow so i didnt try it, now that i tried it its op, just grab a swiftness potion and the speed is acceptable)
6:03 him starving and you not makes sense because every time you hit an enemy your saturation goes down. Since swords have less cooldown and less damage, swords need to hit more than axe. Axe has a higher cooldown so it needs to hit less which means less saturation decrease.

this is 1.9 bruh look at the video
And tbh I wanted to know if neither players have shield axe or sword I better but this and the first vid on this you made answers that so yeah I do agree with u some(also it's funny recently I was playing 1.18 pvp but watching 1.8 pvp and now I'm playing 1.8 pvp and now watching 1.18 pvp lol)
In 1.19 pop axe have less reach and swords have more and tridents have more but axes do more damage
Could u explain this
The same amount of people that watched this video is the same amount of people that subscribed to him.
so swords can just have more dps but axes deal more damage in one hit but they take longer reload time. axes can disable sheilds too. It would be best to carry both 2 weapons. if shield is diabled then sword is better than axe if the person using the shield knows how to aim, strafe, time clicks and sprint reset. Sprint reset might not work for netherrite but it works for other armour and s tap is op if you know how to use it. If you chasing someone use your axe to first hit more damage then change to sword. If you are in a trading hits just use sword because sword has more dps. For SMP part I think most people refer to SMP because what else would you play in 1.9+ to fight other people unless practice i guess. but then again for netherite just use crystals and anchors. if you know how to hold a combo and are good at strafing swords are better in early game if no shield.
So in cpvp sword is better in nethpot and pot sword is better in uhc sword is better in op sword kit sword is better and in AXE kit axe is better, so what’s really the better weapon?
when just starting an smp or smth where nobody had anything id say its easier to kill with a wooden sword than stone axe
Does your opinion change with the 1.19 snapshot?
usually, it comes down to the better straifer (I don't know how to spell that)
When u are in late game you can have fire aspect in a sword as well as sweeping edge and good Armor then sword is better
What about full prot 4 netherite armor and sharp 5 netherite sword + strength 2 + speed 2 64 gaps no shield
netherite potpvp
Try using an axe in endgame potpvp or crystal pvp
i will say axe it better but, 1 thing about axe is that u can not put fire aspect on a axe :/
If you’re talking specifically about axe PvP, the axe is definitely strong, but once you disable someone’s shield it is far from optimal to keep using the axe. The sword has way higher dps and a high skilled player is going to be able to crit you if you run away or combo you if try to fight them with the axe. The axe’s main use in the kit now is to disable shields, punish shield disables, or backstabs which have kind of fallen out of the meta recently. After that it’s just more optimal to use the sword. The only way I can see axe really being better than sword at all is if you have a really high ping. And that’s just for axe, for any other kit the sword is so far superior the axe usually isn’t even included in the kit. Maybe I’ll believe you if someone heavily uses the axe and gets insane results but that’s just not really a thing anymore. I could go into more detail about other kits but I think I’ve explained my viewpoint well enough already.
you can beat a sword with a axe without a shield. Its basically trade hits than run and repeat. If you do it right the axe wins, without shield.
@@cshell3424 On paper that sounds like it would work, but in practice against a good player it won’t. Plus you’d have to be really dedicated to running every hit to get any success. There is a reason the the sword is used more at the highest level in literally every kit.

Well, in general, if the sword is maxed out, then sword is better because they both do more damage due to sharpness, but the axe still only does 2 more. Also the sword could have fire aspect, which is pretty good without pots.
the thing is most good pvpers like clownpierce rarely use axes but like you says depends on the player
Great thing about sword can get knocback 1 and with slowfalling arrow when hitting the enemy there gonna fly and with slow falling its gonna be slower they fall so u have a small a mount of time to place a oby and crystal and axes cant be put knockback axe and sword have sifferent advantage learn obout opion.
Personally i think axes are better.

btw if u have nethright armor the sword need 2 have knock back 1 2 combo
What’s stopping someone from pulling out a shield on the smp and making swords useless
You are right, but you should know how to play with a sword in case you only have sword
i know im late but if u have fire aspect and totems and pots ur gonna still have a axe just bc if they r still kinda low and ur not good at full netherite sword pvp and they still will win so capade is right i dont think u will understand this lol (edit) but u can still use the sword to win one time i lost to axe in full netherite and we had full netherite and pots its just skill this is what i think (edit) what i mean is like the lifesteal smp and some pvp legacy kits like u said it depends on the kit

Also funne monke had 122 comments on your channels hes a god
m just...gonna start playing java too so i can tell whats better
It honestly depends
So the axe mostly is better thats right. But If you Take an Diamond Axe (nine damage and an Attack Speed of 0.8) and an Diamond sword (7 damage and Attack Speed of 1.6) U See that the sword can Deal more damage than the axe in the Same time .But If you Fight with axes you can destroy shields quicker
Plus If one Person only Fights with Axe and the Other only with swords
The axe Player can go more Defensive and win cause if he goes offensive the sword can get more Hits and with that more damage.
depends on the situation. early game axes are overwhelmingly better and in late-game swords are better but axes are still useful, end game swords are a lot better but axes will always be a necessity as long as they disable shields. there's a reason there is no axe in crystal PVP
@Bstd he didn't create a full on endgame kit, try using an axe in crystal PvP of even just a fully enchanted one with loads of totems.
swords hit almost twice as fast as axes and every axe is the same (apart from netherite) so the stone axe deals 9 damage and the stone sword deals 5 damage and if you hit twice as fast in the time that you will hit once with the axe you will hit twice with the sword meaning you will deal 10 damage and with the axe you will deal 9 damage and now take the diamond sword and put it against the diamond axe diamond axe deals 9 damage in the time that the sword deals 14 and even if you put the netherite axe against the diamond sword the diamond sword still beats the axe even with sharpness 5 (i'm talking if both players have the exact same skill
It worked for a while but ppl with sword still combined me somehow they were faster and caught up every time a backed up
In pocket edition and Bedrock edition swords are better than axe's but in Java axe's are better than swords that's why they are thinking swords is better than axe in PVP
The whole problem with this video is it claims using one weapon is better than using another weapon when, if you use two weapons, you can change the tempo and style of the fight, which I have used to equalize a skill gap. I agree with a lot of what is said on both sides but everyone is getting really defensive and forgetting that you need to use both in tandem to be a complete player. I've had lots of success crit chaining, lots of success axe playing, context matters and you need them both. The duel linked in the end card is a great example of this. Anyone that can switch, even at lower skill, would clap either of them.
What I'm going to say is that swords are better for survival, but for anything with pvp, axes are better, unless the sword has fire aspect or knockback
Though I don't play java edition, I used a mod that adds the compact system to java, and I can see that the axe is ok because of how much damage it can do
07:19 i belive what he or she meant is (Slow cooldown but more damage= axe) or (Fast cooldown but less damage= sword)
Personal opinion A X E its usefull to cut trees and pvp!
Netherite gear has anti kb on it so they mean it by dps cuz they expect totems or something and the smp thing… yea idk either the frick they mean by smp this not about smps, anyways axe does more damage and as long as u strafe around jumping and timing ur hits well and have good aim then its better. But on the other hand sword (not gonna talk about friggin dps) you can combo with it. But overall it depends on what skill ur best at, either good at timed strafing hits with good aim and slow hits or the sword which is more fast paced. And yes i expect u to read at the speed of light.
In any sort of an endgame fights an axe is pretty much useless. Except maybe…? Disabling shields? But nobody uses shields late/endgame. Also the sword reach guy is talking about in a combo with kb and inevitable server ping
Then why u lose lopezz with axe and lopezz use sword
